Who invented electricity?
Electricity was discovered by Franklin.

1752 In June, self-taught Benjamin Franklin made a famous kite experiment in ancient and modern times. He and his son flew kites in the thunderstorm, which attracted lightning in the air. A series of sparks were generated between the metal key tied to the other end of the kite string and Franklin's hand. He also felt the smell of hemp electricity, which confirmed the phenomenon that lightning is electricity.
